You may and likely will find a used or better yet inoperative similar model that has a bagger for short money. You didn't say where you live, but I see them on FB marketplace all the time. for the cost of new bagger system $250+ you can likely find a used mower with everything (including spare parts) that will match what you have. They use a bracket the mounts to the backplate of the frame and then have a curved U-channel that the garbage cans (or mesh bag) use for collection. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/104091052959759/search?query=craftsman bagger There are quite a few out there on both Craig's List and FB Marketplace. If you buy one, be sure to remove and take the bracket on the back of the tractor. It's useless without that bracket.
I'm in south jersey. I've been searching marketplace for some time now and haven't found anything.
Newer model lawn mowers but I believe they are more craftsman/ Toro/ etc cloans

Here's one in HowellNJ - just keep watching and search for the tractor and bagger both separately.
